Thinking of getting 530d

Russ200 · 03-11-2016, 03:21 AM

There isn't to be fair it's a big group and they do have a wide pool of cars ( around the uk ) to Choose from which is why they both sold from under me. I'm giving them till midday today then going to my local bmw dealership to get them to search.

The Beast · 03-11-2016, 03:53 AM

I just did a search for 530d/535d M Sport cars and found over 120 for sale in the UK, ranging from £18k to £42k...

Russ200 · 03-11-2016, 04:07 AM

Are they main dealers though? I have looked else where but only really want black leather as I have a dog

Yes go onto the approved used BMW site and there are loads, mainly black, grey and white. Not sure if this link will work but this is the search I performed

The Beast · 03-11-2016, 07:23 AM

Just tested the link it doesn't work, brings back 1 Series for some reason. Just go onto the BMW site and conduct a search yourself... I wish I hadn't looked as there are a few 535d's about used now!

Russ200 · 03-11-2016, 12:12 PM

Yea I know the feeling I'm still waiting in the dealer I found one for 32800 and told them that I'm not paying more than 29000 that the 430 was so its up to them. I'm being fussy cause I don't want oyster / coral red.

A great car in every way.

Good thinking. The Oyster gets dirty unless you are constantly on top of it, especially with kids or a dog. The driver's seat gets stained by blue jeans as well unless you clean it well once a week. I've had Oyster/Black twice on my 520 and 530 and was reluctant about going to Black on my current 535D but now I have really like it.

Nothing wrong with Oyster/Ivory/Beige a d lighter colours but you must keep on top of it or it gets tatty quickly.

I had Cinnamon as well and I liked that too.

Russ200 · 03-12-2016, 11:30 AM

All though I do keep my cars clean just don't think I could live with the colours lol I must be boring and only like black

Me too. It's a nightmare going through the BMW AU website. You find the perfect car, right engine, low miles, great spec, not too pricey and then it has Turquoise Leather or some such.

Russ200 · 03-12-2016, 12:42 PM

Yea the dealer was showing me a few online the main image was the out side he started through the spec and I just said no 3 times on the trot as I could see in the thumbnail pics it had oyster/beige trim. He laughed and said I haven't even finished yet

Piers · 03-13-2016, 03:18 PM

535d on the BM approved sites seem so cheap now, I am sure they were not this cheap when I bought my 520d in 2013 !!

Warranty is coming to an end this year...decisions...decisions...oh and Jag XFS 3l diesel looks great, and I can have in red for a change too.

Russ200 · 03-13-2016, 04:08 PM

I thought about the jag but there far to many of them around here.

AP · 03-14-2016, 07:05 AM

I think the amount of discount on new cars has increased over the years as well which must have an impact on used prices.

I got 12% off my 530d in 2012 which I thought was pretty good at the time. I'm reading here people getting over 20% off now. I could probably buy a 535d with all the options I have for the price I paid back in 2012 , maybe even with change!?

As I say this must affect used prices (and trade in). I don't even want to see how much I've lost on my car so far! Plan to keep for quite a few more years yet to spread out the depreciation.

Russ200 · 03-14-2016, 09:40 AM

Well I have said yes to a 535D slightly more miles than I wanted but it's speced well. Just need to try and find some 351 wheels as I don't like the wheels on it. Any one know what these are?

The wheels on the car (350M) are the standard M-sport OEM fit for the period, yes they are 18".

Russ200 · 03-14-2016, 04:58 PM

Thanks I'm sure they won't stay for long will go 19's but not sure what yet the 18's look too small

Keep those for winter tyres and look out for a set of 351s - German eBay is another source
